Hi, this is Robert Stewart with Hill13.com. So now you've done your tear down and your
maintenance and established that all of your parts inside look okay. You've checked all
your o-rings, you've oiled your o-rings, made sure there is no residues or anything you
want to leave inside the receiver and it's all cleaned up and you've put the weapon back
together. Now you want to be able to make sure before you end up on the field that the
weapon works and the way to safely do that, again, you should be working in an area where
you're by yourself. There's no bystanders that could get hurt. If there are, have them
put on goggles. At this point, with no paint in it, just with air, we're going to check
the function of the gun. The way we're going to do that is we're going to take the weapon
off safety, put it on fire and we're going to *** the bolt and then we're just going
to check and make sure that it runs. Sounds like it's working fine. Now you also, especially
on the Tippmans that have a cyclone feed or any kind of intracal feed system you want
to check the function of that and just make sure that the paddles inside are moving properly.
If you start to have trouble with this area, there's usually a section inside your maintenance
manual that will tell you how to tear that part down too. Most of the time, in my experience,
I let our gunsmith handle mine so that I don't have a problem with the hopper. So now the
weapon is ready to function and we know it. Next we'll talk about what to do with your
weapon when you're not on the field. Right now all this needs is paint and it can go.
